Hello, we are getting a very similar behaviour. I wondered as it's winter he's getting earlier and fed earlier. . We take him out at 11 and he is pooping but cries about 3.30 and does need a poo - it's definitely I want to go out for the loo cry rather than a give me attention cry. I did read somewhere else about feeding later so we might give that a shot, I'd be interested in Mrs C's results!

A slight update. He wants to be upstairs and settles but any noise outside or car lights sets him off barking... this doesn't happen in the day, has anyone experienced this?

Thank you. It's very early days but it seems like what a lot of people say on the forum...he seems happy downstairs during the day but at night likes to be near us, which is fine but occasionally a noise spooks him/gets his attention and starts to bark or run down stairs...I'm wondering whether keeping the bedroom door shut would help or if that is likely to cause more issues.

I've seen a lot of people say about their dog sleeping in the bedroom next to them but what do people do (who let them sleep in the bedroom) about the door. Do they close it so the hound stays in the bedroom? Has it caused any issues?
